* A bibliographic
essay is an interpretive review of
the literature on a particular topic, functioning like a
guided tour as it highlights research conducted in an area
of study or inquiry. A bibliographic essay may also serve
to point the way toward further research that could be
undertaken in a particular knowledge domain. The
interpretation can take one of the following forms:
· Survey: Works are selected with
the aim of providing an overview of a topic or area of
research.
· Thematic: Works are distilled
into a clear and concise summary highlighting an important
concept or trend.
